I promise no babies were harmed in the making of these photographs! If you notice in the magazine, these are credited as photo illustrations. I assure you the young man above and that flaming birthday cake never crossed paths!

The image above almost made it on the TOC but got replaced at the last minute by something more news worthy (which luckily did not happen to my cover!).

You can see an interview with me about the shoot on a local news channel here.
